Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need both GleanMark and Alt Legal?

Not necessarily. GleanMark covers a trademark practice end-to-end — search, clearance, office-action drafting, watch, and trademark docketing (deadline tracking plus customizable client updates) — so a trademark-focused firm can run on GleanMark alone. Alt Legal goes deeper for full-practice firms: cross-IP docketing, direct TEAS filing, and Clio sync. Firms with patents and a firm-wide docketing system often use both.

How do GleanMark and Alt Legal work together?

GleanMark handles the trademark lifecycle — search, clearance, office-action drafting, watch, and trademark docketing (deadlines plus client updates). Alt Legal adds the full-practice operational layer: cross-IP docketing, TEAS filing, and Clio integration. No integration is needed — if you run both, GleanMark is your research and trademark intelligence and Alt Legal is your firm-wide filing and docketing backbone.

What's the combined cost of using both?

Alt Legal ranges from $60-295/month depending on your number of matters. GleanMark starts free and is $99/month for full search, monitoring, AI, and trademark docketing. A trademark-focused practice can run on GleanMark alone; a firm that also wants full cross-IP docketing and TEAS filing is looking at roughly $110-345/month for both.

Is there any overlap between the two tools?

Minimal. Alt Legal's Section 2(d) Watch monitors marks you've already filed for potential conflicts. GleanMark's monitoring is broader — covering 35 alert types across status changes, TTAB proceedings, ownership transfers, and more. The core overlap is basic monitoring, but they approach it from different angles.

Which should I get first?

For a trademark-focused practice, start with GleanMark — it covers search, clearance, office-action drafting, watch, and trademark docketing (deadline tracking plus client updates) in one tool. Choose Alt Legal first if you need firm-wide cross-IP docketing, direct TEAS filing, and Clio integration. Firms that use both usually started with whichever matched their most pressing need.

Can I use just one of them?

Absolutely. Each stands on its own. Alt Legal is a complete cross-IP docketing and filing platform. GleanMark is a complete trademark platform — search, clearance, drafting, watch, and trademark docketing — for a trademark-focused practice. Using both simply means a firm-wide docketing backbone plus GleanMark's research and trademark intelligence.
